Borderline resectable pancreatic cancer. Challenges and controversies.
2018
Abstract Pancreatic cancer is a dismal disease with an increasing incidence. Despite the majority of patients are not candidates for curative surgery, a subgroup of patients classified as borderline resectable pancreatic cancer can be selected in whom a sequential strategy of neoadjuvant therapy followed by surgery can provide better outcomes. Multidisciplinary approach and surgical pancreatic expertise are essential for successfully treating these patients. However, the lack of consensual definitions and therapies make the results of studies very difficult to interpret and hard to be implemented in some settings. In this article, we review the challenges of borderline resectable pancreatic…

Surgical Anatomy for Radical Prostatectomy
2007
Exact neuroanatomical knowledge of the male and female pelvis has become increasingly important to both anatomists and pelvic surgeons (bowel surgery, urology, gynaecology). Anatomical discoveries are often the basis for the development of new operating methods. In addition, functional results after operative procedures have become the target of detailed anatomical scrutiny.
Technical advances in radical retropubic prostatectomy techniques for avoiding complications. Part I: apical dissection
2003
Radical retropubic prostatectomy is currently the most widely used surgical treatment for localized prostate cancer. This once cumbersome procedure has developed technically over the last 20 years, reducing dramatically the associated complications and morbidity, e.g. blood loss, incontinence and impotence. Currently the operation is safe and is the best choice for eradicating localized disease, with little loss in quality of life. However, differences in reported outcomes indicate that there is still a need for standardization and continued efforts for surgical excellence. This review focuses on the crucial steps of the procedure, in two parts: the first covers apical dissection and the se…
Radical perineal prostatectomy
2004
Historically, perineal prostatectomy was the primary type of surgery for prostate cancer, performed for the first time by Billroth in 1867 mostly without visual control. However, Hugh Hampton Young received credit for the first perineal prostatectomy after reporting in 1905 his experience with a mostly visually controlled operation and new special instruments [1]. Different perineal routes of access to the prostate have been described, but the most commonly used route is Young’s suprasphincteric approach ventral to the external and internal sphincter ani. It was the mainstay of surgical treatment until by the mid of last century pelvic lymph node dissection became part of the procedure. Rad…
Fraktur des Os capitatum bei einem 11-jährigen Jungen
2010
We report the case of an isolated non-displaced fracture of the capitate in an 11-year-old boy. On the basis of the relevant literature we present a survey of the diagnostic and treatment options. To the best of our knowledge this is the first description of a paediatric capitate fracture in the German-speaking area.
